OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children (formerly known as ‘For your child’s health’) is a natural supplement especially made for infants, children, and pregnant & breastfeeding mothers. This product contains 3 billion natural live cultures per sachet, in 3 well researched strains; Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33, and Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71. These have all been tested and shown to survive both stomach acidity and bile salts to reach the gut alive. What’s more, this product has been clinically trialled especially in children.
For babies & children (formerly known as ‘For your child’s health’) also contains Fructooligosaccharide fibres. It contains no colourings or flavourings that may be found in other foods and supplements containing live cultures for children.
OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children can safely be taken from birth, and is also suitable for breastfeeding and pregnant women who may wish to take natural bacteria especially during the last trimester.
Choose For babies & children as a natural supplement with live cultures especially made for your children.
This product contains 3 carefully selected strains of natural bacteria and fibre especially for your children.
Introducing OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children (formerly known as ‘For your child’s health’) into your child’s diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women can take OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children (formerly known as ‘For your child’s health’) during their pregnancy and nursing periods to maintain healthy levels of the appropriate types of beneficial bacteria for child health. In the cases of vaginal birth, a newborn swallows what will become its first healthy intestinal microflora as it passes through the mother’s birth canal.
This is nature’s way for mothers to inoculate their babies and provide them with a foundation of healthy bacteria for their future health. At the time of birth, if the mother has good levels of friendly bacteria, and the right types to support child health, these will be passed to the baby during birth. Many pregnant women take this OptiBac Probiotics formula during pregnancy for this purpose.
Following birth, development of the infant’s microflora is influenced by diet (breast milk / formula), environment, and medication (e.g. antibiotics). The natural development of Bifidobacteria in infants is favoured by breast-feeding, and studies have found higher concentrations of Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum in breast-fed infants as opposed to babies bottle-fed with formulas. Many nursing mothers take For babies & children while breastfeeding to help support their child’s levels of friendly bacteria during this time.
From birth introducing OptiBac Probiotics For babies & children (formerly known as ‘For your child’s health’) into your child’s diet supports the development of friendly probiotic bacteria promoting good digestive health and supporting natural immune defences. Medical research shows that a good balance of friendly bacteria helps support digestion, immunity and energy levels for all infants and children, in particular: a) formula fed infants, b) infants delivered by caesarean section, c) preterm (premature) infants (Caesarean babies and pre-term babies unfortunately do not receive the full benefits of healthy bacteria from the mother), d) infants and children with allergies and skin irritations such as eczema, e) infants and children with digestive problems such as colic, diarrhoea, constipation and lactose intolerance, and f) infants and young children during and after antibiotic therapy.
The overuse or misuse of antibiotics in infants and children may result in unhealthy intestinal conditions as antibiotics deplete normal levels of intestinal bacteria. Unbalanced levels of bacteria can manifest in the form of allergies and digestive problems in children whereas healthy levels can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.
A healthy balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines provides specific enzymes needed in the digestion of particular substances, production of B complex vitamins and vitamin K, and improves the absorption and uptake of minerals and nutrients in the diet, including calcium which is important during the early years of growth.
Ingredients: For babies & children
During infancy & childhood the types of friendly bacteria that naturally live in our intestines are very different from the types found in adulthood and old age. Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium bifidum are the dominant and most important beneficial cultures found in healthy infants and children during their early years and have unique benefits in supporting digestion, immunity and resistance to infection. The prebiotics in For babies & children help maintain high levels of Bifidobacteria by acting as a food source for the probiotics to flourish in the intestines.
Full ingredients per sachet
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS 0.75g), filler: potato starch, Live cultures: (Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52, Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33, Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71). Each sachet provides 3 billion live cultures and 0.75g Fructooligosaccharide fibres.
Mix contents of sachet with cold food or drink and consume, preferably with breakfast.
Or take as professionally directed. For best results, take daily. OptiBac Probiotics may be used on an ongoing basis.
NB: Ideally avoid mixing with hot foods or fluids, or acidic drinks such as orange juice. For infants, this can be taken with formula milk when it is at room temperature, but not when heated as heat reduces the viability of the bacteria.
It is not recommended to give live cultures to patients who: are severely immunosuppressed, have pancreatitis, are in the Intensive Care Unit, have blood in the stool, have central venous catheters; or to post-surgical patients with open wounds, or infants with short bowel syndrome; unless under a doctor’s care.
